Why aint i an admin?

[Antone]

Ive got my forums up, but i cant even delete threads or posts. Why cant i be a admin for my forums?

Your a moderator of your forum, and yes you can edit and delete threads. Visit a a thread in your forum, and look for the admin options at the bottem left of the page.

[Antone]

oh ive been trying to use the edit/delete option. But still how can i become an admin?

[Lego]

An admin of what?
When you sign up for a forum, you automatically become an admin of your forum.

[Antone]

ok i clicked on the "administrative options: user options" at the bottom of the page, and i get this:

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Which forum is it?

[CHiMPY]

he's trying to access the admincp lego.. Not possible as a moderator.

basically.. you CANT do what you want antone.

[Lego]

Your wrong chimp, you don't get that error when you get a failed login in the admin CP. Antone, you are a moderator of your forum. I think you are clicking the wrong thing.

At the bottem of each thread there is a drop down menu box, titled "Admin Options". From there you can sticky, close, open and move threads. You should also be able to "edit" any users post.

[CHiMPY]

dont make me kill you lego

i KNOW i am right..

when you are a moderator you can NOT even access the admicp page. it gives you the same error he described.

you are retarded

if i try to login to that section i get the error that antone is complaining of.. when you try to click on the user options thing UNLESS your account is setup to be able to view it (super mod/mod) then you will get the error.

Stop arguing with me on this lego.

[Lego]

Okay chimp wins
Antone, tell me exactly what you are trying to access.

[CHiMPY]

he is clicking on the "user options" link when you view someones profile..

as far as i can tell he is trying to edit/ban users which obviously is impossible as a moderator for 1 forum.

[Antone]

yeh chimpy you rule.

[Lego]

heh - Antone, if you want to ban a person from your forum, use the clan control manager.
